With the information given, can you prove that this quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
D

Yes
No

No

Currently we don't have enough information to prove this quadrilateral is a parallelogram. One piece of information that would be useful would be if the other diagonal is bisected. If that's the case, then we have a parallelogram (we would first prove the triangles congruent and then use the corresponding congruent angles to set up the parallel lines). Unfortunately, we only know about one diagonal being bisected, but not both, so we don't have enough info.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

step-by-step explanation:

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without
